Well, can you blame us? :(

And then you just have people who just don’t know any better.

This is an interesting perspective that I hadn’t considered. Can’t really blame folks in that situation.

This whole time, that was an option?! I feel so cheated.

I still refuse to believe that any of them actually believe the earth is flat. It’s either a grift in the case of social media accounts that push the rhetoric, or a big joke in the case of everyone else. Even if some of them do actually believe it, I still choose to believe this theory, because it makes me hate humanity a little less.

When will people realize that nobody likes accounts created specifically to market shit? For fuck’s sake. Join the platform as a normal user. Engage with it as a normal user. Post shit that isn’t about your products, comment on posts, join communities. Maybe then, and only then, you can earn the right to post some self-promotion now and then. This, though? Fuck this. Fuck off.

Yes, and the low-resolution pointer when you do this excessively is just unacceptable. I’m glad they’re finally addressing this pressing concern.

Aww, man. I saw this post and was immediately excited, thinking that these games were being remade or re-released on a modern system, only to find that no, it is merely a post rightfully dedicated to how good these games were.

Translation: We know we’re going to make billions on Shark Cards and don’t really care about the drop in the bucket that the box price represents.

Look how long it took Team Cherry to make Silksong, and look what we got for it. Maybe this is a sign that ES6 will be a masterpiece and won’t be a buggy mess propped up by a rampant modding community willing to put in the work to fix it all.

Huh, TIL! Thanks for the explanation!

There is a brand of peanut butter here that has “WARNING: May contain nuts” on the label.

Seems completely plausible, as part of their rhetoric to turn people against drag queen story hour.

Someone a long time ago pointed out that they likely do it on purpose just to bait engagement from people saying basically exactly what you’re saying, and I think about it every time either the ridiculous censoring, or this style of objection come up.

Fair enough.

No more paywall.

That price is certainly not representative of what was actually available when I was booking. There were $99 tickets but only if you wanted to leave at 5AM or arrive after 4PM. If you want to leave between 8-10AM and arrive at a reasonable time, there were no coach options and business class was $200+.

I went and checked JetBlue before posting that and they had $101 flights that were listed at 1h 14m, so that’s what I was basing those numbers on.

Can’t find the Boston->NYC confirmation, but here’s one from around the same time from Penn Station in Providence. This was the cheapest seat available on this train; the cheaper ones were only available if you left before 6AM or after 11AM. This train got in at about 1:30 PM, so 3h 45m from RI.

Train stations definitely have less bullshit, but it’s a 5h trip vs a 1h trip in this case. I could have spent 3 hours in the airport before the flight each way and added 30 minutes to get from the train station to the airport and back, and still saved time by flying.

We don’t have high speed rail, either, so that trip would only take you (by my understanding) about 1.5-2 hours.

I’ve had to take a train from Boston to NYC and back a few times. Round trip, it costs anywhere from $200 to $500 depending on whether you want to leave / arrive at a reasonable time or not, and it takes about 5 hours each way, which is slightly longer than driving takes. Incidentally I can fly from BOS to JFK round trip for about $200, assuming reasonably early booking, and the flight is about 1 hour. So this doesn’t surprise me at all.

I’m actually curious how it’s sung in Spanish, they have a few extra letters in the critical range.

l, ll, m, n, ñ, o, p

I took Spanish in highschool but that was a long time ago. I vaguely recall learning a weird version of the alphabet song that starts with A, B, C, CH, D, E, F as the first grouping, but I can’t recall how it went past that.
